The photo on the Ynet homepage shows Assad developing some nice jowls. Poor bastard.

Assad will still attack us through his proxy the former Lebanon.

So wer'e now going to expel the majority of the inhabitants of the Golan by force?

choke suppy line to Hizbollah. or else... WAR

Israel will never accept peace.

bashir, got off your high throne and decided to dangle a sweet carrot as bait for israel? forget it. your heart and intention isn't and never was in making peace with israel.....for the golan? no way. the golan is ours. you had it once, but used it as a launching pad for terror attacks on innocent northern israeli civilians. had you created communities, resorts, developments, schools, agriculture, homes on the golan, we would have said....look how nice bashasss is to his poor people. he's actually interested in their welfare. you had your chance to use the golan for perfectly peaceful reasons, but you didn't. you prefered terror. you created a war. we won and took over the golan. you don't give a hoot about the golan...a useless piece of land for many reasons. but not to you. not to the terrorist bashar who wants to get this little parcel of land to continue his infantile bombing and grenade throwing from the top. our answer is NO. NO DEAL. NO GOLAN FOR YOU. israel has to exist in PEACE and you are the ANTHESESIS TO PEACE IN THAT REGION. i have another explanation as to why you "woke up" and want peace all of a sudden. you saw hizbullah destroyed, mayhem in the gaza and west bank, fighting among the palis to overthrow hammas, maybe you'll be forced to fork some money to rebuild lebanon together with your rich arab ally, iran. not convenient for you economically because your people already live in sqalor and there's no money for them in syria. the world finally woke up to you and your support for terrorism and hizbullah. now you want to be a nice guy and offer peace? so you can improve your image in the eyes of western societies. won't work. the arrival of a multi national force on your borders and on lebanese borders woke you up. what....not easy to smuggle weapons anymore? take a back seat bashar. you were and will always be a puppet. i suggest you continue buying those fancy suits of yours and keep your mouth closed. and please, please stop murdering moderate arab leaders in other countries who do not share the same violent vision you do. you murdered harriri, you barbarian!

Indirect Peace talks with Syria was not a coincidence. Eventual comprehensive peace is inevitable. The alternative is what the evangelical dooms day Christians have been dreaming about.

His talk of negotiations reminds me of a radio program popular when I was a kid (in the 1930's) , called "You dannot do business with Hitler. I hope the leftists don't persuade otherwise rational people to trust his word.

Youre irrelevant on the world stage.

The B/S remains the same. Now, the Madrid Peace Conference is mentioned again, how predictable. And 'transparent'! First, it's War, then Peace - now, remember when Assad called the other Arab countries names for NOT joining Hezbollah against Israel. Then, he had to 'Kiss up, alot' because he had offended the Big Dogs. Now this! http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Peace/syrtoc.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vjRyw7YMfc&mode=related&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rio8gpIAWEg&mode=related&search=

if you are not with us, you are against us ! Oh, good news; I just read that Judea&Sumaria extends all the way to Damascus. Actually, it was a tunnel that the archaeologist discovered dug 20 feet deep down under.. and they unearthed a boomerang there too... Whatever... Amir

YOU TOOK THE GOLAN IN 6 DAYSBY WAR OF AGRESSIOON YOU GIVE IT BACK IN3 DAYS BY PEACE AGREEMENT .stop the suffering you put your people through give it back to the rightfu owner good deed wi produce good deed in return .He bashar can help you on the issue of hizbuallah and may be arger peace prevail otherwise you are going too face a syria with iranian cookie in their jars and you donot want that kind of cookies

Any lsraeli leader that hints to give up the Golan should be marked by Israeli voters as fair game for dismissal. Any time the Syrian leader wants peace, he can have it without territorial concessions

i think israel should stall and call his bluff. he is such an embarrassment to his country and he doesn't know when to shut up. israel doesn't want another war, but at the same time wants desperately to have another chance to correct mistakes made in fighting lebanon. assad better be careful or he'll get what he is asking for. too bad he has no idea what he is asking for.

Miracles y'know...... Now if only Baby Doc Assad can grow a proper chin...

It was a war of Arab/Muslim aggression in whic Syria lost the Golan. It is now in the hands of the rightful owner. Bashar has already announced that he "cannot" stop the arms smuggling and unless Iran, who has it's own agenda/ agrees he can do nothing anyway. Thirdly from the first time that Mohammed broke a treaty agreements with Muslims have generally not been worth the paper they are written on.

Israel will have an open borders with thousand of extremists in Syria, Assad is keeping them locked in for now. War or Peace, we don't care, just do something, both of you are coward to take any decision

Actually you should not make fun of other people's look. Remember, you come from a land where half-tongue Barak or Piggy Sharon. Please try to stick to politics

He really wants pieces of all Israel not one united peace.

Israel needs a strong government the leaders of which can take this opprtuinity and make peace with Syria as such a deal will eradicate the root of the Israeli Arab conflict because the strategy of the Palestinians and other Arab states will change, but all that is needed is that the Israelis replace their weak government which acts as the Americans want not as the Israelis want with a real strong government the policy of which would be based on the pure Israeli interest

More and more people are falling for the notion that if we just leave the extremists alone, they will leave us alone. DAVID BROOKS

Fisrt Gaza to Palis what did you get back? Quassams, next Galans, next Jerusalem next Tel Aviv..... hmm next no Isreal! Do you get it? For those who say these guys just need a piece of land you are out of your minds , all they need is the whole of current Isreal. their dream ios to see no Isreal. Please Isreal turn to God who will protect you and your land from these thieves.
